To be fair I'm pretty sure you could play Izzet Phoenix without Brainstorm and the deck would barely even notice. It doesn't feel much better than just "1 mana draw a card" in that particular deck to me.

It does feel like it helps the consistency of the Jeskai Turns deck a lot though, especially because it allows you to hide your key spells from Thoughtseize, etc.
